VINATIERI

sets scoring mark in Colts’ victory.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Andrew Luck threw his third touchdown pass of the game to break a tie with 5:28 to go, Adam Vinatieri set the career scoring mark and the Indianapolis Colts beat the Oakland Raiders 42-28 on Sunday.

Luck connected with all three of his tight ends with the 10-yard pass to Jack Doyle putting the Colts (3-5) up 3528. Luck connected earlier in the game on passes to Mo Alie-Cox and Eric Ebron and finished with 239 yards against an overmatched defense for the Raiders (1-6).

Vinatieri set the record as the NFL’s top all-time scorer in the first half. He kicked a 26-yard field goal in the first quarter to tie Morten Andersen with 2,544 points and then added a 25-yarder late in the second to set the record . Vinatieri scored three more points, giving him 2,550 for his career.

Marlon Mack ran for a career-high 132 yards and 2 touchdowns, breaking the personal mark he set last week against Buffalo with 126 yards. Mack’s second TD came after Doug Martin lost a fumble for Oakland and sealed the victory as the Colts won in consecutive weeks for the first time in three years.

Derek Carr threw three TD passes and ran for a fourth just days after Oakland traded his top receiver Amari Cooper to Dallas. But it wasn’t enough to prevent another loss in what is quickly becoming a lost season to begin Coach Jon Gruden’s second stint with the team.

The Colts started fast with Mo Alie-Cox making a one-handed 26-yard touchdown catch and Vinatieri adding a field goal to make it 10-0 before the Raiders finally found their stride.

Carr threw two touchdown passes in the second quarter to put Oakland on top and added a 1-yard sneak for a score on fourth down to make it 21-13 early in the third.

The game went back and forth from there with Luck tying it with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Eric Ebron and a two-point conversion pass to Chester Rogers.

Carr then avoided a sack before finding Brandon LaFell for a 6-yard touchdown late in the third before the Colts tied it back up early in the fourth on Mack’s 4-yard run.
